Learn about the three main subdivisions of memory and the areas of the brain in which they take place. This interactive site walks students through the virtual dissection of a sheep brain and discusses the electrochemical connections that help us remember. Because of the similarities between sheep and human brains, this is an excellent site for introducing brain structure and functions. Includes some great videos of the dissection process. Aligned to Benchmarks for Science Literacy.
